Fatal crash victim identified as San Diego woman

A woman killed in a crash Sunday was identified as Dusha Patrice Flowers of San Diego, the Medical Examiner's office said Tuesday.

Flowers, 33, was a passenger in a BMW sedan heading south on Interstate 805 at Sweetwater Road about 2 a.m. Sunday when the driver lost control and the car rolled, California Highway Patrol Officer Brad Baehr said.

Flowers, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected and thrown onto the roadway. A short time later she was hit by a pickup. That driver stopped momentarily but then drove off, Baehr said.

Flowers was pronounced dead at the scene. Officials believe that she died before being run over by the truck, Baehr said.

The driver of the BMW, who also was not restrained, was taken to a hospital with moderate injuries and will be booked on felony charges of drunken driving and manslaughter, Baehr said.

His name had not been released.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information about it is asked to call the CHP, Baehr said.
